对于具有0..*：0..1基数的左联接或具有0...1:0..*基数的右联接，可以将来自联接器（0..1表）的单边列直接分配到联接对象（0..*表）上，从而避免创建全新的数据表。这需要将来自joinee的键列匹配到joiner中，并根据分配对joiner的行进行索引和排序。
如果键是单个列，那么我们可以使用对match（）的单个调用来进行匹配。这就是我将在这个答案中介绍的情况。
这是一个基于OP的示例，除了我在df2中添加了一个id为7的额外行，以测试joiner中不匹配键的情况。这实际上是df1左连接df2：
df1 <- data.frame(CustomerId=1:6,Product=c(rep('Toaster',3L),rep('Radio',3L)));
df2 <- data.frame(CustomerId=c(2L,4L,6L,7L),State=c(rep('Alabama',2L),'Ohio','Texas'));
df1[names(df2)[-1L]] <- df2[match(df1[,1L],df2[,1L]),-1L];
df1;
## CustomerId Product State
## 1 1 Toaster <NA>
## 2 2 Toaster Alabama
## 3 3 Toaster <NA>
## 4 4 Radio Alabama
## 5 5 Radio <NA>
## 6 6 Radio Ohio
在上文中，我硬编码了一个假设，即键列是两个输入表的第一列。我认为，一般来说，这不是一个不合理的假设，因为如果你有一个带有键列的data.frame，如果它从一开始就没有被设置为data.frame的第一列，那就很奇怪了。您可以始终对列进行重新排序以使其如此。这种假设的一个有利结果是，键列的名称不必进行硬编码，尽管我认为这只是将一个假设替换为另一个假设。简洁是整数索引的另一个优点，也是速度。在下面的基准测试中，我将更改实现以使用字符串名称索引来匹配竞争实现。
我认为这是一个特别合适的解决方案，如果您有多个表要对单个大表进行左连接。为每次合并重复重建整个表是不必要的，而且效率很低。
另一方面，如果出于任何原因需要通过此操作保持被连接对象不变，则无法使用此解决方案，因为它直接修改了被连接对象。尽管在这种情况下，您可以简单地制作一份副本并在副本上执行就地分配。
作为补充说明，我简要探讨了多列键的可能匹配解决方案。不幸的是，我找到的唯一匹配的解决方案是：
低效的连接。例如匹配（交互（df1$a，df1$b），交互（df2$a，df2$b）），或与paste（）相同的想法。低效的笛卡尔连接，例如外部（df1$a，df2$a，`==`）和外部（df1$b，df2$b，`=='）。base R merge（）和等效的基于包的合并函数，它们总是分配一个新表以返回合并结果，因此不适合基于就地分配的解决方案。
例如，请参阅匹配不同数据帧上的多个列并获得其他列作为结果，将两个列与其他两个列匹配，匹配多个列，以及我最初提出的就地解决方案中的问题，将R中具有不同行数的两个数据帧组合。
标杆管理
我决定做我自己的基准测试，看看就地分配方法与本问题中提供的其他解决方案相比如何。

在这里，我以随机输入数据为基准，尝试两个输入表之间不同的比例和不同的键重叠模式。该基准仍然限于单列整数键的情况。同样，为了确保就地解决方案能够同时适用于相同表的左和右连接，所有随机测试数据都使用0..10..1基数。这是通过在生成第二个data.frame的键列时采样而不替换第一个data.fframe的键列来实现的。

这是第二个大型基准测试，在键列的数量和类型以及基数方面更为繁重。对于这个基准，我使用了三个键列：一个字符、一个整数和一个逻辑，对基数没有限制（即0..*：0..*）。（一般来说，由于浮点比较的复杂性，用双值或复数值定义键列是不可取的，而且基本上没有人使用原始类型，更不用说键列了，所以我没有将这些类型包含在键列中。此外，为了提供信息，我最初尝试通过包含POSIXct键列来使用四个键列，但POSIXct类型没有发挥作用由于某种原因，可能是由于浮点比较异常，所以我删除了sqldf.indexed解决方案。）

使用上面给出的相同绘图代码生成的绘图：
titleFunc <- function(overlap) sprintf('R merge solutions: character/integer/logical key, 0..*:0..* cardinality, %d%% overlap',as.integer(overlap*100));
plotRes(res,titleFunc,F);
